The FBI has arrested an unnamed person for making fake ransom notes, posing as the kidnapper of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie.

Nancy was last seen at 9:45 on Saturday night after being dropped off by her son-in-law, Tomasso Cioni, who drove her home. Nancy had spent the evening having dinner with Tomasso and her daughter, Annie. After failing to appear on Sunday morning, authorities found blood and a removed Ring camera at her Tucson home.

A “total imposter” ransom note has led to an arrest

On Tuesday, TMZ reported receiving a ransom note sent to their publication, allegedly from Nancy’s abductors. The note was passed on to the authorities in Arizona for investigation. The note demanded an undisclosed sum of cryptocurrency, said to be in millions. There was an added threat of “or else,” if these demands were left unmet.

Additionally, another ransom note was sent on Wednesday. This time, Arizona-based news network KOLD reported a letter emailed to their office. Journalist Mary Coleman confirmed to CNN a note was sent, but added that details could not be disclosed, due to “sensitive information.”

In a video shared to her Instagram on Wednesday, Savannah and her siblings appealed to Nancy’s captors. They cited that the 84-year-old needs urgent medical care, and they would be willing to negotiate for her freedom.

In a new statement, the FBI has declared a ransom note claiming to be from Nancy’s captors was illegitimate. “We believe there is no evidence to connect this to Nancy’s case,” special agent Heith Janke, said on Thursday. It was someone that was trying to profit from it. A total imposter.”

However, no identity of the alleged impostor was disclosed to the public. Additionally, the FBI shared the unnamed person will face a magistrate judge later that day.

On the contrary, another ransom note, sent to media outlets, including TMZ, was under investigation. Janke said the FBI was taking this note “extremely seriously.”

An Arizona reporter is weighing in on some sensitive information related to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. The mother of Today co-host Savanah Guthrie was reported missing on Sunday. Pima County police are treating it as a criminal act, with a reported ransom note being sent to a local news outlet in Arizona.

Reporter Mary Coleman at KOLD News got to read that note before it was handed over to the police. She recently shared her thoughts on its legitimacy.

The alleged ransom note supposedly gave “very sensitive information” about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance

The alleged taking of Nancy may have actually happened. In an interview with CNN, Mary explained why the ransom note could be legit. She says there was “A lot of it is information that only someone who was holding her for ransom would know.” While she didn’t share what the note contained, she did say that after a couple of sentences, it felt as though it wasn’t a hoax. In the note, she claims there was “very sensitive information.”

Mary says that the ransom note also featured a specific dollar amount and a deadline. The search has been going on for five days, but there are no suspects yet. On Wednesday, Savannah and her family released a video saying they are ready to talk to whoever might have kidnapped Nancy once they receive proof of life. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously said that he believed Nancy is alive.

Mary says that detectives reached out to their newsroom for more information upon receiving the ransom note. This was for them to search for the IP address, as it was sent to the KOLD News staff via e-mail. TMZ also claimed to have received a ransom note. It’s unclear whether it’s the same one KOLD News received.

Police are worried for Nancy’s safety as she is 84 and requires daily medication.

Nancy Guthrie’s family is making an emotional plea to anyone who knows where she is. Her daughter, Today host Savannah Guthrie, and her sister, Annie, and brother, Cameron, released a video on Wednesday discussing what their mother means to them.

In an emotional statement, Savannah said that their mom is their heart and their home. She says that Nancy’s heart and health are fragile, with her mom needing her medication to survive. Savannah also addressed the rumors of a ransom note.

Savannah Guthrie and her family want proof of life after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance

There is one key element that must happen before Nancy’s family can potentially negotiate with those who might have taken her. Savannah addressed the ransom note reported by TMZ this week. “We are ready to talk,” she said about the message. The ransom note allegedly demands millions of dollars in Bitcoin. It’s been sent to the Pima County Sheriff’s office.

Being an experienced journalist, though, Savannah is aware of how easily voices and images can be manipulated. As such, she added, “We need to know without a doubt that she’s alive and that you have her.” She went on to say they want to hear from them while urging them to reach out.

It has been a roller coaster of emotions for the Guthrie family over the past few days. Nancy was reported missing from her home in Arizona on Sunday. The following day, Sheriff Chris Nanos said they’re treating her disappearance as a crime. There were reports of blood found at Nancy’s home, though it’s unclear whose it is. Meanwhile, yesterday the Sheriff said that he believes Nancy is alive.

Nancy, who is 84 and lives alone, was absent from her usual church service on Sunday, setting off red flags. Savannah will not be going to Italy to host the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in light of this.

Arizona police have denied speculation that Savannah Guthrie’s brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, is a suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

Tommaso’s mother-in-law, Nancy, was last seen on Saturday evening. The mother-of-three’s family were told by a friend that she hadn’t arrived for Sunday church service, and the authorities were alerted. Updates by the authorities stated blood stains and a missing Ring camera were found at her Tucson, Arizona home.

Savannah Guthrie’s sister Annie is married to Tommaso Cioni

Tomasso is the husband of Nancy’s daughter, Annie. According to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, Nancy had dinner with her daughter and son-in-law on Saturday evening. After the dinner, Nancy was driven home by Tomasso at approximately 9:45 pm. Tomasso was the last person to see Nancy before her abduction, the authorities stated.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has denied Savannah’s brother-in-law is a person of interest in Nancy’s disappearance. “At this point, investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case. Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie,” a statement from the department read on Wednesday, February 4.

Additionally, they warned against online speculation and misinformation regarding the ongoing case. “Detectives are working closely with the Guthrie family. While we appreciate the public’s concern, the sharing of unverified accusations or false information is irresponsible and does not assist the investigation.”

Tomasso’s alleged biography on the Tapirulan Cultural Association website states: “I was born in San Giovanni Valdarno on June 18, ’75. Since 2006, I have been living in Tucson, Arizona.”

On Tuesday, TMZ stated that they received a ransom note from Nancy’s alleged kidnappers. While not disclosing the amount, the tabloid claimed the abductors demanded millions in cryptocurrency for her return, “or else.” The publication claimed the bitcoin address in the ransom note was found to be legitimate, and they had passed on the note to the relevant authorities in Arizona.

On Tuesday’s episode of Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, Sheinelle Jones confessed that everyone there is a little rattled by what happened to Savannah’s mom. Many at the show have reportedly been having trouble sleeping since the incident.

The last known time someone saw Nancy was around 9:30 pm on Saturday. That’s when Savannah’s sister Annie and her mom finished dinner and went their separate ways. The Pima County Sheriff’s office isn’t ruling out any possibilities in this matter.

Yesterday, TMZ alleged they had a ransom note sent to them regarding the disappearance. They say the note demanded payment of millions in Bitcoin. They verified that the Bitcoin address was real before sending the note to the Pima County Sheriff’s office.

Tracking down Nancy is a top priority, seeing as she is 84 and requires daily medication. She has high blood pressure, a pacemaker and cardiac issues.

Savannah has previously said her mother is sharp as a tack but given her age, mobility can be an issue. Nancy lives on her own in her place in Arizona.

On December 28, 2025, Jill Biden’s ex-husband Bill Stevenson called the police following a domestic dispute with his wife Linda. When police arrived, they found his wife unresponsive in the living room of their Delaware home.

Though first responders tried to revive her, she was pronounced dead.

William ‘Bill’ Stevenson is accused of killing wife Linda Stevenson

One month after Linda Stevenson’s tragic death, her husband Bill has been arrested. Following an autopsy by the Delaware Division of Forensic Science, the authorities apparently have enough evidence to charge him.

Jill’s ex has been charged with first-degree murder, with a cash bail of $500,000. After being unable to post bail on February 2, Bill was reportedly booked into the Howard Young Correctional Institution in Wilmington, Delaware.

The former First Lady met Bill while she was a college student. The couple married in 1974, but were only married a short time, separating after just a year of marriage.

The relationship between Jill and her first husband reportedly became rocky when Bill purchased a college bar near the University of Delaware campus. Apparently, Jill thought, as his wife, she should be co-owner of The Stone Balloon, but it never happened.

Following a fight with her then-husband, Jill moved out in late 1974. Their divorce was finalized in 1975, the same year she met then-Senator Joe Biden. She and Joe married in 1977.

Over the years, Jill has repeatedly denied ever having had an affair with Joe while she was still married. “Jill Biden separated from her first husband irreconcilably in the fall of 1974 and moved out of their marital home,” a 2019 statement confirmed. “Joe and Jill Biden had their first date in March of 1975, and they married in June of 1977 … These claims [of infidelity on Jill’s part] are fictitious, seemingly to sell and promote a book.”

Even though they’ve been divorced for over 50 years, it’s possible that Jill could be brought in to testify as to her ex-husband’s character.

Savannah’s bosses are looking to have security by her side during this frightening ordeal. Chris Nanos with the Pima County Sheriff’s office says that Nancy was “taken” from her home. They are treating the matter as a criminal act, searching feverishly to track her down.

Nancy Guthrie remains missing

As they search for Nancy, NBC doesn’t want anything to happen to one of their big on-air talents. On Rob Shuter’s Substack page, Naughty but Nice, a network insider said, “NBC security has been in active talks with law enforcement all day.”

Police are treating this as a criminal act, and Chris now believes an abduction took place. Earlier today, there was a report that blood was found at Nancy’s house, though we don’t know whose it was. One veteran at NBC says Nancy’s disappearance has rattled many people. On the surface though all of them are trying to hold it together.

Nancy is 84 years old and lives alone in Arizona. She didn’t show up to her usual church service on Sunday raising red flags to her family.

Savannah’s co-hosting duties the opening ceremonies at the Milan Olympics later this month may not happen. She was to host the event alongside Terry Gannon. A senior source says there’s no universe in which she gets on a plane to Italy, as family comes first for her. The message they are sending to Savannah for now is to take care of her family, and they’ll handle the rest.

Nancy’s absence may be someone else’s doing. That’s how Pima County is treating the incident. They are desperate for any leads on her whereabouts. In a press conference on Monday, Sheriff Chris said they now believe that Nancy “did not leave on her own.” As such he says her missing is a crime scene and they are asking those around the area for help.

While Savannah has praised her mother’s self-awareness, the Sheriff notes that she needs vital medication to survive. He adds that authorities have her cell phone and will be analyzing it for potential leads. The mother had been reported missing on Sunday after being a no-show at a church service earlier that day.

Due to the disappearance, Savannah was not hosting Today on Monday. Nancy lives alone in her home in Catalina Foothills, Arizona. On Sunday, Chris said that search and rescue teams in the region were looking for her on the ground and in the air. They have since been called off temporarily to rest.
